You can set suppression properties for the package
published with IBM® Cognos® Framework Manager. These properties
determine whether IBM Cognos studio users can choose
multi-edge or single edge suppression. The properties also determine
the types of values that can be suppressed. Types of values that users
can choose to suppress depend on the studio.
When a
package is created, the suppression properties are automatically set
to true. If you want to change the values on a published
package, you must re-publish the package.
Procedure
- In the Project Viewer, click the
package that you want to modify.
- On the Properties tab, find the
suppression property, and select one of the following values.
- Allow Null Suppression - When
true,
this property makes suppression available to IBM Cognos studio
users. When false, suppression is not available in
the published package.
- Allow Multi-Edge Suppression -When
true,
users can select multi-edge or single edge suppression options. When false,
users will only have access to single edge suppression. The Allow
Null Suppression property must also be true.
- Allow Access to Suppression Options -
When
true, users can choose the types of values that
will be suppressed, such as zero or missing values. By default, all
the types of values are suppressed. The Allow Null Suppression property
must also be true.
